Scientists now say that the sun is steadily losing its heat. They are particular to spriug the question in the dead of winter. Farmers all over tin; State are hold ing meetings and agreeing to hold their cotton for a better price and to reduce the acreage this year at least l25 per cent. The com and pork production of South Carolina this year should he ample to supply all domestic demands, which would insure a satisfactory proGt on the cott >n crop. The action of Postmaster General ?"\Vyun in turning out those Mormon postmasters in Uaho will do more to check ti-c cause of Mormonisni than a dozen revelations of manifestoes. - mm. m ?I - ? Just suppose a Democratic presi dent had been elected! Every Ko puhlican paper in the land would be proclaiming that the slump in stocks and in the price of cotton wps due to a Democratic triumph. An ezohango remarks that 3,000,000 American citizens failed to do their duty and vote in the last presidential election. And just about 3,000,000 more failed to do their duty and vote the right way when they did vote. - mm mm The Mcwberry Observer very truly remarks that with an increase in sales of one hundred and seventy thousand dollars in one year, the dispensary doesn't look quite so much like a "step (nvanl DTOnlbltlOQ its friends once claimed for it. -? ? i -? Ex-Judge Joshua II. Hudson was unanimously chosen to succeed and fill the unexpircd term of Senator MoCall, of Marlboro County, as State Senator. A better choice could not have been made, since Judge Iludpon is eminently qualified to fill any posi tion in the gift of the people. Next Wednesday, 25th in s t., has been set as the day for the second in auguration of Governor D. C. Iley ward. A legislative oommitteo has been appointed by the Senate and House to confer with the Governor and arrange the programme of ad dressee. The inauguration will as usual take place on the capital steps and an nddrcsn will be made by the Governor. _ The State Board of Canvassers has dismissed the appeal from Kdgefield county in the matter of the vote tor the new oounty of Calhoun. The eleotion was overwhelmingly carried in favor of establishing the new county, but irregularities were charg ed and an appeal was carried to the State Board to deoide the disputed question. Other proteste will prob ably ha made. h?t ftOTH the pt-onnnt outlook it seems that the new oounty will eventually win. Col. Alfred Aldrich, of Barnwell, writing about his system of planting two rows of ootton and two of oorn, known far and wide now as the Aid rich system, ?ayo: "If your farmers would adopt it they would all beoome independent and prosperous. The farmer who makoB all that he con eumes is in better shape with 6o cot ton than he who buys on credit to operato his farm and sells his ootton at 10c per pound. The firBt named can oarry on his business probably with Go ootton while the last named is forced to suspend." The burning of ootton in order to bring the price up is as fooiish as a thing oan be, and we are glad to note that the movement to do this foolish thing has made no headway in tho South. A few bales have been burn ed and the men who did so havo gain ed a little notoriety, but the move ment stopped right there. The State of Texas has a very wise law on this subject, whioh forbids a man, under a heavy penalty, to burn any growing orop or harvested orop. The Texans are protected against any suoh foolish ishness by the strong arm of tho law. Governor Heyward has made the positive announcement that he will retire from politics at the expiration of his second term. There has been -much speculation politically as to his future, a general* opinion being that he would oppose Senator Tillman for the Senate next rear. Mr. Hey* ward has, in the first two years of Iiis publio servtee, made as unusually good record, and it is a matter of re gret that a/ man of his strong person r?lity and honeety should go back to privato life. Two things in particu lar have made bis ? administration worthy of note, his strong stand for Jaw and order and his advocacy of better educational provision for tho children of tho' Stat?." - ' m m am' ?. ?

The usual rush of l)ilU bus marked the lir*t week of the Genera! Assem bly, nearly two hundred measures hav ing been introduced the first tour du>s. The two houses have done little solar , an appearances go, but the committees | have been named and are getting down to work. Measures cannot be acted on until they have been considered by committees and in reality there is nothing much that can be done until tho committees begin to report. In the Senate tho composition of the committees is determined by the Sen ate itself and in the House the speaker makes the assignments. Nearly al ways the iuiu of a biii depends on the report which the committee having it in charge w ill make. The two Houses met in joint session Friday to canvass the election ret urns, declaring the Slate ollicers elected. The date of the inauguration w ill prob ably be net for the S3th, as that seems to Auit bent. Railroad Commissioner John II. Karle is the only new oflicer to be sworn in and he has already taken the oath and is performing the duties ol t he otlice. Among the many bills introduced or prepared are measures of all sorts and varieties. .Senator Brie? has present ed the original "Brice bill" which was amended and then passed at the last action. This bill would permit every county to vote upon the establish men t or the closing of a dispensary without the sp?cial tux imposed by the law now in force nud under which Cherokee voted out the dispensary last Hinunter. In his message tho Governor took strong ground against the original Brice bill, nrguing for the justice of the. special tux. Tho advocates of the bill have claimed a majority for it and Gov.Hey ward's argument and inliuence may not be sufficient to defeat it, but thestrong influence of the dispensary :tself is back of him in this particular matter. Senator liaysor has introduced a bill to change the management of the dis pensary on the lines recommended by the Governor in his message, except that the bill provides for the appoint ment of the State Hoard of Control by the Governor, tho Board now being elected by the Legislature. In sub stance, the proposed change means thai purchases would be made by the Commissioner instead of b> the Board as at present, and that the prices paid shall be made public; purchases are to be made on bids advertised for and the i Commissioner is to buy only on orders I from tho county dispensers, thus pre venting on accumulation of stock. The County Boards are to be appointed by the State Board, two to bo nominated by the county delegation and the third by tho mayor or intendant of the town in which the dispensary is established. The State Board is to havo supervision over the county dispensaries and ench member is to receive a salary of $1,.">00 a year instead of $400 as at present. Tho new bills range in variety from a concurrent resolution looking to the repeal of the Uth and 15th amend ments to changing the name of Bull Pond school house to Bull Pond club. There are several amendments pro posed to the constitution, most of them seeking to conform conditions to the system of biennial sessions. There are. six bills on tho subject of marriage licenses; there is the bill to provide for oil inspection; to establish au experi ment station; to provide for compul sory education; eight bills already re lating to the dispensary; several re lating to the lien Jaw and the Bale of cotton seed; several to change the sys tem of drawing juries; ono to regulate the speed of automobiles; one to make "cussing" a misdemeanor; several seeking to safeguard the primary from fraud and to punioh bribery; bills re lating to the fish and oyster industry; to have all legal ex?cutions within the walls of the penitentiary. These are only a few of the products of the first week. They show the multiplicity of subjects with which the Legislative mind concerna itself. Many of the bills are the fulfillment of campaign pledges, and others are the result of personal solicitation on the part of constituents. A considerable nnmber of them will bo reported un favorably by the committees and thus meet an early death, while others will languish for want of proper advooaoy and be left on the calendar at the sea sion'a end. The dispensary and com pnlsory edncation bills and measures of that sort will consume the greater portion of the time, and towards the close the appropriations will eclipse everything else in interest. No date for the elections has yet been set, although there are one or two resolution?? on tho subject before the two houses. J. H.
